Line and Space is an architectural design firm founded in 1978, by Les Wallach, FAIA, and headquartered in Tucson, Arizona.[1] They have completed projects internationally[2][3] and are known for their ecologically-sound buildings.[4][5][6][7]
Following the 2007 global financial crisis the company managed to buck the national trend and survived by working in China, designing luxury homes. Work included designing seven house types, a corporate retreat and a community center (called "Harmony and Balance") for a development of 20,000 residents near Shenzhen.[8]
